2 Information About WRED-Explicit Congestion Notification Information About WRED-Explicit Congestion Notification WRED-Explicit Congestion Notification Feature Overview Currently, the congestion control and avoidance algorithms for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) are based on the idea that packet loss is an appropriate indication of congestion on networks transmitting data using the best-effort service model. When a network uses the best-effort service model, the network delivers data if it can, without any assurance of reliability, delay bounds, or throughput. However, these algorithms and the best-effort service model are not suited to applications that are sensitive to delay or packet loss (for instance, interactive traffic including Telnet, web-browsing, and transfer of audio and video data). Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED), and by extension, Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), helps to solve this problem. RFC 3168, The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP, states that with the addition of active queue management (for example, WRED) to the Internet infrastructure, routers are no longer limited to packet loss as an indication of congestion. How WRED Works WRED makes early detection of congestion possible and provides a means for handling multiple classes of traffic. WRED can selectively discard lower priority traffic when the router begins to experience congestion and provide differentiated performance characteristics for different classes of service. It also protects against global synchronization. Global synchronization occurs as waves of congestion crest, only to be followed by periods of time during which the transmission link is not used to capacity. For these reasons, WRED is useful on any output interface or router where congestion is expected to occur. WRED is implemented at the core routers of a network. Edge routers assign IP precedences to packets as the packets enter the network. With WRED, core routers then use these precedences to determine how to treat different types of traffic. WRED provides separate thresholds and weights for different IP precedences, enabling the network to provide different qualities of service, in regard to packet dropping, for different types of traffic. Standard traffic may be dropped more frequently than premium traffic during periods of congestion. For more information about WRED, refer to the "Congestion Avoidance Overview" module. ECN Extends WRED Functionality WRED drops packets, based on the average queue length exceeding a specific threshold value, to indicate congestion. ECN is an extension to WRED in that ECN marks packets instead of dropping them when the average queue length exceeds a specific threshold value. When configured with the WRED -- Explicit Congestion Notification feature, routers and end hosts would use this marking as a signal that the network is congested and slow down sending packets. As stated in RFC 3168, The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP,implementing ECN requires an ECN-specific field that has two bits--the ECN-capable Transport (ECT) bit and the CE (Congestion Experienced) bit--in the IP header. The ECT bit and the CE bit can be used to make four ECN field combinations of 00 to 11. The first number is the ECT bit and the second number is the CE bit. The table below lists each of the ECT and CE bit combination settings in the ECN field and what the combinations indicate. 2
3 ECN Extends WRED Functionality Table 1: ECN Bit Setting ECT Bit CE Bit Combination Indicates Not ECN-capable Endpoints of the transport protocol are ECN-capable Endpoints of the transport protocol are ECN-capable Congestion experienced The ECN field combination 00 indicates that a packet is not using ECN. The ECN field combinations 01 and 10--called ECT(1) and ECT(0), respectively--are set by the data sender to indicate that the endpoints of the transport protocol are ECN-capable. Routers treat these two field combinations identically. Data senders can use either one or both of these two combinations. For more information about these two field combinations, and the implications of using one over the other, refer to RFC 3168, The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP. The ECN field combination 11 indicates congestion to the endpoints. Packets arriving a full queue of a router will be dropped. How Packets Are Treated When ECN Is Enabled If the number of packets in the queue is below the minimum threshold, packets are transmitted. This happens whether or not ECN is enabled, and this treatment is identical to the treatment a packet receives when WRED only is being used on the network. If the number of packets in the queue is between the minimum threshold and the maximum threshold, one of the following three scenarios can occur: If the ECN field on the packet indicates that the endpoints are ECN-capable (that is, the ECT bit is set to 1 and the CE bit is set to 0, or the ECT bit is set to 0 and the CE bit is set to 1)--and the WRED algorithm determines that the packet should have been dropped based on the drop probability--the ECT and CE bits for the packet are changed to 1, and the packet is transmitted. This happens because ECN is enabled and the packet gets marked instead of dropped. If the ECN field on the packet indicates that neither endpoint is ECN-capable (that is, the ECT bit is set to 0 and the CE bit is set to 0), the packet may be dropped based on the WRED drop probability. This is the identical treatment that a packet receives when WRED is enabled without ECN configured on the router. If the ECN field on the packet indicates that the network is experiencing congestion (that is, both the ECT bit and the CE bit are set to 1), the packet is transmitted. No further marking is required. If the number of packets in the queue is above the minimum threshold, packets are dropped based on the drop probability. This is the identical treatment a packet receives when WRED is enabled without ECN configured on the router. 3
4 Benefits of Benefits of Improved Method for Congestion Avoidance This feature provides an improved method for congestion avoidance by allowing the network to mark packets for transmission later, rather than dropping them from the queue. Marking the packets for transmission later accommodates applications that are sensitive to delay or packet loss and provides improved throughput and application performance. Enhanced Queue Management Currently, dropped packets indicate that a queue is full and that the network is experiencing congestion. When a network experiences congestion, this feature allows networks to mark the IP header of a packet with a CE bit. This marking, in turn, triggers the appropriate congestion avoidance mechanism and allows the network to better manage the data queues. With this feature, ECN-capable routers and end hosts can respond to congestion before a queue overflows and packets are dropped, providing enhanced queue management.
